[Mg-t] XPAG front crankshaft seal modification

[Lawrie]

Len,

I solved this issue by having a tool machined which is a tube the o/d of 
the opening, bored to slide over the crankshaft and with a keyway to 
allow for the pulley key. After the pan and timing cover (with seal 
installed) are fitted to the engine but not fully tightened, the tool is 
slid along the nose of the crank until it touches the seal. At this 
point, the cover and pan will be forced to be concentric with the crank 
nose and to fit evenly around the seal. Then the pan and cover bolts are 
tightened, the tool removed, and the pulley lubed and installed on the 
crank.
